results in 41 of 186 (22%) hands, the palmaris longus tendon was absent and absence of the fifth flexor digitorum tendon was noted in eight (4.30 %). the median surface area in the hands without palmaris longus was meaningfully lower than the hands with it (p = 0.025), while the difference in the median surface area was not statistically significant with regard to presence of the fifth flexor d...

Tendon rupture in dogs is generally the result of a direct trauma. This report described the use of adjacent muscle autogenic fascial graft for reconstruction of distal rupture of long digital extensor tendon in a dog. A two-year-old male mix breed dog, was presented with a non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb and a deep rupture of lateral side of right tarsus. History taking reve...

background clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. the aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (prp) injection in healing achilles tendons of rats. methods forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. sevent...

conclusions roll stitch technique had superior outcome compared to the modified kessler technique, when performed in the mcpj area. level of evidence: therapeutic (level iii) background proper suturing technique is needed to ensure good outcome in extensor tendon surgery. different techniques have been reported for the repair of extensor tendon injuries at the level of the metacarpophalangeal j...

tendon transfers in hand patients are a commonly performed procedure after extensor tendon rupture. however, the standard side to side technique is not applicable in every patient. we present a case of a musician with unique demands to demonstrate the option to customize surgical technique and therapy regimen to the unique needs of each patient. an extensor indicis proprius to extensor digitoru...

Background: The Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus (ECRL) and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) are muscles of the posterior forearm compartment. variations in this area of the forearm are common and are usually diagnosed during surgery. Sometimes these variations are symptomatic and can be helpful in clinical procedures such as surgery. Diagnosis and identification of abnormalities can be ...

Background: Reconstructions of acute acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations have been thought to result in superioroutcomes than chronic dislocations. The use of tendon graft in reconstructions has demonstrated favorablebiomechanical properties. To determine whether utilizing tendon graft during repair of acute AC dislocations results insuperior outcomes and lower complication ra...

objective: tendon never returns to its complete biological and mechanical properties after repair. bone marrow and, recently, adipose tissue have been used as sources of mesenchymal stem cells which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. in the present study, we compared the effects of allotransplantation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (bmscs) and adipose derived stromal ...

introduction: traumatic ruptures of the biceps tendon are rare, but serious, and usually involve the long head of the proximal insertion. rupture of the distal tendon account for only 3% of all biceps tendon ruptures. a history of tendonitis, overuse, or anabolic steroid abuse may predispose tendons to rupture. surgical repair, followed by a comprehensive rehabilitation program, was indicated t...

Abstract In this study, the dynamics of tendon/top tension riser (TTR) system a tension-leg platform (TLP) are investigated through an experiment and by using absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). First, model test TLP is conducted in water tank Harbin Engineering University to examine motion response dynamic characteristics tendon TTR. The scale ratio set 1: 66.3. Then, on basis ANCF, ...
